- Monitor progress against the programme and escalate potential delays, constraints or additional requirements at an early stage.
- Promote a “right first time” approach, reducing defects, rework, delays and customer disruption.
- Coordinate with the client, project management team, subcontractors and other stakeholders to ensure works progress effectively.
- Ensure site records and project documentation are completed accurately and maintained throughout the works.
